More often than not, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Q-S1 and NX1000.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q-S1 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX1000 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Q-S1 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
